What do you think deaf people do?
911 in many areas supports SMS for this reason and a multitude of others.

Depends on the cause of the blackout.
Here, our last days long blackout took out anything that needed wires. This is because it was an ice storm that took down wiring as well as trees which took out more wiring. POTS was not fully restored until after power was. This is because the power company had to replace poles before the Telco could string new wires.

Not for years.
That kind of reliability died out in the 90s.

Well, you can always make the box bigger.
Just make the heat sink a few hundred pounds of copper.

I will be getting one of those this year if only so I can rewatch the Dr Who 50th in 3D. I intended to buy a bigger TV anyway and adding in 3D is pretty cheap.

To be a reasonable person here, if you are using that TV as a monitor you would sit the same distance.

Even if you are using it as a TV, my couch is not bolted to my living room floor, I doubt yours is either.

Please explain?
You think solid state parts working make noise?

If you are only making calls this is not the device for you.

I would rather have a slightly larger phone. I am not going to carry a tablet around in public at all times.

I agree the price is too high for what it is.

That is not porns primary use at all.
Does it bother you if your wife touches herself?

My phone is open to tinkering.
Heck, Ubuntu for it exists.

I want both. I might be convinced if all the drivers are in mainline, but we both know that is not the case.

It would not come close to a 2006 macbook pro.
ARM cpus are not that performant. Ghz is not something you can compare that way.

It is on a phone with better specs and an unlocked bootloader.

Why are the specs so low?
This is like a phone from 3 years ago.

Facts not in evidence?
Is this a court now?

Which of us in a fantasy land?

It is hatred to expect not to be billed for unwanted services?
